[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Yes, I've read the standards, and they are rife with problems. Close reading is totally unproven -- Good God, the clueless children that will come out of that curriculum! Most of the math standards are problematic because[b] they insist on explaining in great detail in abstract terms at young ages with writing skills well beyond their ability[/b]. Until middle school, kids are concrete thinkers. These standards insist they be abstract thinkers well before the time that they are biologically wired to do so. It's like asking a fish to fly. [/quote] NO THEY DON'T. We have been over and over this. That is NOT what the math standards require.[/quote] It's been reported on the PARCC, the Smarter Balance, and the Pearson NY tests. [/quote]
